We are in a world today where we are consumed with owning more. We must have the newest toy, or the latest widget, or the trendiest cars or clothes. Where are our priorities? Church where is our compassion? Why are we caught up in worrying, and in anger and bitterness? There is freedom is Jesus. The Bible say "He whom Jesus has set free, is free indeed!!!" (emphasis added by me) The "things" we have are not ours anyway. The home, clothes, cars, everything, they all belong to him.
Think about Abraham. He finally was blessed with a son, from Sarah. As God had promised and delivered. Then God asks Abraham to sacrifice his Son. Did God want Abraham to kill his son? We all know he didn't want him to physically do it, but he wanted Abraham obey without question and in his heart his was totally committed to sacrifice Jacob. I think we need to have the same heart. Do we not trust in God? Do we not believe that we can thank God in all circumstances, good or bad. That our Creator will not forsake us. Is our heart right. Do we understand that we are merely caretakers of God's possession.
My prayer is that I would be right with God and that I would trust in Him, the Lord Jesus. I pray that I would be Godly example to my family as a father. That I would be a Godly husband, a man who is sold out to God, 100%, no questions asked. I pray that I would be example to others in my community and in my church. That the love and light of Jesus would shine through me. I don't want to be a fake, phony, lukewarm Christian. I want Jesus and the Kingdom of God to be my number one priority. I believe I have to realize this week, that the trappings of this world are temporal and have no real value to me anymore. There is something very freeing in knowing that. I want to live for Jesus and I want other to know of his great mercy and love and share with them the gift of the Gospel.
I ll be praying for you, please pray for me.
Prayer Captain out.
